Sottotenente Romeo Della Costanza, 1 September 1941
Hello, this pilot was a member of 363a Squadriglia, 150o Gruppo CT in November-December 1940, claiming a victory and a probable over Albania.
He was killed on 1 September 1941 in Albania, according to the Banca Dati dei Caduti e Dispersi. According to http://surfcity.kund.dalnet.se/italy_costanza.htm, he was killed in an accident in a Mc200. I would like to have more details about the accident, especially the location and the serial if known. Thanks in advance PS: there is nothing in the MOW book series. |

Checking my notes I've found that the only C.200 struck off charge by the 363a Sq in the first two weeks of september 1941 was MM 5249, so this was very likely the fighter involved in the crash.
